Premiership appearances last season;
Skrtel 36
Agger 20
Toure 20
Sakho 18
I don't really think the Dane can be complaining about a lack of games. He still played in more than half of them, with any luck Toure will be fu**ed off in the summer meaning this coming season he'll play even more.
He started the season as first choice, Toure started quite well and they looked a decent pairing. Skrtel then got his chance and took it in the first few games, don't think he had an exceptional defensive season but the best of the lot. Sakho was 17 million quid, Brendan's highest fee to date so was bound to be given opportunities.
Now I don't rate Sakho as highly as some on here do. I think he's a liability and makes too many dangerous passes. His passes may find their targets so his percentage looks great but too often they're into players in the middle of the park with somebody up their arse. So I'd happily go back to a Skrtel/Agger partnership. But, as I've said, Sakho was the big money signing so I suspect he'll be first choice along with Skrtel who was the best of the lot last year.
Danny can either accept that and know that with four competitions to play next year and a guarantee of at least 46 games, he's still gonna get plenty of game time (especially if Toure does go). Or he can throw his dummy out, throw a strop and move on. Like everybody else who leaves this club, their careers only go downhill. The grass isn't greener than it is at Anfield.
